How to Make Money Online: The Ultimate Guide for 2018 (and Beyond)

There is a lot of information out there right now on how to make money online. And I mean a lot.

Most of it should be put into a box and shot up into space because it's not helpful to anyone in our planet.​

But no worries, we're about to change that.

In this giant of a guide, I'm gonna show you the money-making methods that actually work.

That's not all...

I'm gonna show you how to actually do them, along with their difficulty level and time to implement.

So are you ready to get started?

How to ACTUALLY Make Money Online

To actually earn that legitimate dollar, you'll have to do something for it. There's no such thing as a machine that magically makes money from the internet. The only way I see that happening is if that "magic machine" stole funds from credit cards and bank accounts. Hacks, I guess.

But that's not what we're about here. We don't do that illegal bullshit around here.

Here at iwannamakemoney.com, we only show you the best ways to make money online. Ways that involve people buying from people. Ways that involve people paying people. You know...the legit stuff.

And, it doesn't even matter how old you are. You can be a teenager working on college tuition, a senior looking for something exciting, or just normal guy trying to support his family.

Making money online is for everybody.

So with that, let's jump into the first method on this list.

1. Earn "Full-Time Income" With Blogging

Difficulty: 7/10

Effectiveness: 9/10

Time: 3-12+ months

Blogging is one of the best ways to make money online. And that's why we've featured it on this list as our #1.

What is "blogging"? you ask. Well, it's kind of what we're doing right now at iwannamakemoney.com. Basically, we created a blog​, created some kickass content like this, and earn through more than one way.

With this money-making method, you'll have a few ways to earn. The 2 usual methods are affiliate marketing and offering your own digital products (like ebooks).

How to Get Started

Start a blog.

Create high-quality content.

Get some traffic.

Build your mailing list.

Create your own digital product and/or get into affiliate marketing.

2. Make Extra Cash, Sell Your Unwanted Stuff

Difficulty: 2/10

Effectiveness: 8/10

Time: 0-1+ weeks

You'd be surprised at what "junk" you've got laying around that could put some extra cash in your pocket. You've heard the saying...One man's trash is another man's treasure.

How do you do it?

Basically, you start digging around your house and garage, find something of value, log onto a site like eBay, and post your item for sale.​

Easy.

The toughest part will probably be the digging around. Or, if you're "computerly-challenged", then posting your item for sale might be a bit challenging.​

How to Get Started

Making money by selling your unwanted stuff goes like this:

Dig around your house, storage, and garage.

Find something someone would find valuable.

Pick one of the sites that let's you post ads. Examples: Craigslist, eBay, Kijiji.

Post your item for sale (with pictures and a description).

Make the sale/transaction.

3. Earn Passive Income With a Niche Site Army

Difficulty: 8/10

Effectiveness: 10/10

Time: 3-12+ months

A niche site is typically one that is laser-focused on a profitable market.

For example, custom gaming controllers. You can even go further by focusing on a particular console, like Xbox One or PS4.

Most niche sites are monetized with affiliate marketing. Which means they promote and sell other people's products.

As an example, let's go back to the custom controllers...

I have a website called ControllerPro. Basically, we review and roundup the best controller shops and their controllers.​ We make money by recommending Evil Controllers (and their products), one of the leaders in the area.

I also have other niche sites doing the same thing.

It's a lot of work. Especially if you're doing it alone. But it's worth it.

Pro Tip: Hire someone if you can. Virtual assistants are great workers.​

7. Try Your Luck With Online Poker (Yup!)

Online poker. I fucking love it. Texas Hold'em is my game. I even play live tournaments at least once a week. (Note to self: start a poker blog.)

Poker, however, isn't you're typical online moneymaking method.

Usually, making money online involves some form of marketing, content creation, or a rewards-style membership (like surveys).​

​Poker requires a lot of luck, though. Even the most skilled players in the world need some to win. That's why you typically see a lot of amateurs sitting at the final tables of big events like the WPT or WSOP.

If you haven't played before, there's something every poker player knows about called beginner's luck.​ Maybe you'll have some.

Mostly, you'll do things like complete surveys,​ fill out offers (i.e, take free trials, install apps, etc), and share stuff on social media. Some sites ask you do to other things. But these are the usuals.

And they pay anywhere from $0.01 to $2 per task. Rarely any higher. But you could make about $50 to $100 per site every month.​
